Art’s Birthday Bash

Art Montini, age 84, at the 2011 IAWA World Championships in Perth, Australia. Next year at his Birthday Bash he will turn 85 and be eligible for a whole new set of masters records in the 85-89 age group.

Art Montini will again be celebrating his birthday by hosting a record breaker meet at Ambridge BBC in Pittsburgh. This competition is a long-standing event which Art has promoted for many years. The Ambridge Gym is a place of beauty, and is stocked with gym equipment that should be in a Weightlifters Museum. If you have not been there for a competition – this is your chance! There is NO entry fee (but donations are taken to pay for the meet insurance). Art does set a limit of 5 records per lifter to insure that the record day finishes in good time. Last year this event was well attended and I expect this year will be the same. Art does request that you send it your entry form so that he knows how many lifters to expect.
